This Dual M.2 PCIe SSD Adapter adds two high performance PCIe M.2 SSDs (NVMe & AHCI) into the PCIe x 8 or x 16 slot of a desktop, workstation, or server. Boost System Performance Take full advantage of the fast performance & compact size of PCIe M.2 internal solid-state drives, with read & write speeds up to 7.8 G Bps per drive. Access two M.2 PCIe SSDs simultaneously No on-board chip leads to wide system compatibility. This card requires PCIe bifurcation, meaning it easily integrates into any system with an available x 8 or x 16 PCIe slot that supports PCIe bifurcation. Utilize software RAID, such as Storage Spaces (Microsoft) or mdraid/mdadm (Linux), to build a RAID array, adding redundancy or enhancing system performance. Wide Compatibility The PCIe M.2 NGFF (M Key or B+M Key) adapter supports PCIe NVMe & PCIe AHCI M.2 SSDs including 2242, 2260, 2280 & 22110mm drives. The PCIe M.2 Adapter Card does not require any software or drivers, meaning it works with most operating systems, if the computer/motherboard supports bifurcation. Vented Brackets The included full & low-profile vented brackets increase air flow to improve heat dissipation, which aids in maintaining optimal & reliable operating temperatures. The DUAL-M2-PCIE-CARD-B is backed for 2-years by Star Tech.com, including free 24/5 multi-lingual technical assistance Applications Connect two PCIe M.2 SSDs to your desktop computer or server to boost system speed & increase internal data storage Get ultra-fast data access, ideal for high-performance workstations
